[edit] Unsure about "Military history WikiProject"

Hi anyone who is able to help me. I'm interested in helping to improve the content of this article, however I'm not sure do I need to join the "Military history WikiProject" before I can contribute. Cheers to all! Twejoel 04:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

All this information has been ripped from another, uninformative site. Try to be a bit more creative. I mean what does this mean, "The skills required of light cavalry (patrolling, reconnaissance, and screening) had to be picked up while on active duty."? Britain had had light cavalry since the 1750s and it made much use of it in India during the 1790s. It's just speculation and myth combined into some sort of pseudo-fact.

"The best of the British units was the King's German Legion, which performed excellent service in the Peninsula and created history by breaking French Infantry squares at Garcia Hernandez." Again this statement is based on one made on an unquestionably biased website on the subject and is in turn derived from flimsy sources that haven't been fully analysed.

I have now considerably extended the article and hopefully cleaned some problems. I also added several pictures, but think, that the main impact should be on the tactics, not neccessarily on the the different nations. Information on them and their forces is already on their pages. But as I am no native speaker, please have a look on the article. There may be some mispellings or syntax problems. Anne-theater (talk) 01:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
